Just a name change for FB's parent company. Also zucc wanted to excite people with VR stuff but it is not even close to 5 years ago Recroom experience yet.

I'm sure there are lots of competent people putting a lot of effort in "Metaverse", but to me it looks really just yet another VR world. Does anyone know what is the concrete new thing it would make successful?

They could buy Second Life i guess :)

Metaverse is like NFTs. You can have it explained to you a dozen times but it will never make sense because it doesn't make sense.

I own an Oculus 2, I really love Half Life Alyx, I had a PC that works well for VR...

I have no idea if Metaverse is a game you download and run or it's supposed to be some tokens you take from game to game. I just have no idea. I've seen the creepy/shitty Zuck avatars, so I assume there is some chat-game involved somewhere.

Notice there are no questions in this post. I don't care to learn. Just re-stating how poor the messaging of what it is they apparently want me to care about is.

"Ready Player One" is a pretty concrete illustration of what a Metaverse is.

It may not be realistic or desirable, but I don't get how someone couldn't possibly wrap their head around what it is.

So I have to watch a 2 hour movie? Can't they explain it in like 1 paragraph?

Multipurpose VR-based persistent alternate reality.

Well, actually, the movie is based on a book, which is much more than a single paragraph.

There have been books about virtual worlds since the first computer came out. I'm familiar with a good bunch of them. Get off my lawn!

What I'm poking fun at is that i haven't seen a single piece of news explaining Zuck's plan. Did he even have one?

VR with a multidirection treadmill
